In a previous announcement, we started doing staff updates and made the new Elite Coder group, designed as a badge for notable programmers that offers some extra forum privileges, an official thing. The announcement stated that the next one would be on February 14th.

Today we are pleased to announce the addition of @Hayleia and @matrefeytontias to the Elite Coder member group! They now have extra privileges regarding what sub-forums they can have in the Featured Projects section, they have access to the Safe-Haven board by default and they are now listed on CodeWalrus front page and About section, along with the staff and the other Elite Coders.

Another member is still pending approval for addition to the Elite Coders group as hasn't replied to his last PM yet to confirm he is still interested. Should he still show interest towards such position (and the site), there might be another Elite Coder addition very soon. In the future, the Elite Coders group will be opened to good programmer who wants to join and is interested in helping CodeWalrus grows, although places might still be limited.

Hayleia is currently working on Super Smash Bros Open, a TI-84 Plus game clone which made the headlines on several big gaming websites, while Matrefeytontias is working on a Super Hexagon clone called Axagon, written in Axe language.

Also, the Featured projects section was finally updated after some delays. Subforums for smaller projects were added for two Elite Coder and a Mana Force CSE sub-forum was added as well.

When work on a large calculator project I often forget to revert changes when testing code. Bugs can easily be created this way. To mitigate this I wanted to use version control. I made a detokenizer based on the token xml files bundled with TokenIDE. With this python package you can detokenize 8xp ...

Recently I have started to learn how to user Firebase, thanks to exposure from @_iPhoenix_ . I created a test website, which I have been developing on here. I've added a login/out button, file upload and download, and databa...

**Early Access Beta Release** A suite of calculator security tools that actually functions, unlike many of the fake tools that just search for names like VIRUS, or don't scan at all. This program already has the ability to: - Save and update a database of all Programs or Protected Programs on your c...

Anyone tried the new UT game that is under development? It has some issues since it's in early stages but it sure brought back good memories from 2004, when I was playing the first Unreal Tournament from 1999 on my Pentium II 350 MHz.
